A Sydney woman who was forced to buy $13,000 sandals because she wore them outside the store has has hit back at her haters.
Elle Salagaras, 29, took to her TikTok account ‘EasternSuburbsMum’ this week to reveal she had no choice but to pay $13,155 for Hermès sandals because she wore them outside the shop, having decided to purchase them but thinking they would cost a fraction of that amount.
She was heavily criticised for the purchase, with many calling her out of touch and overindulgent as the sandals were not at all worth the money.
Now the mother-of-three has hit back at the naysayers who mocked her over the fashion faux pas.
She posted a video of her getting some Botox while wearing the designer footwear, showing how proud she is of the shoes, rather than regretful.

A Sydney woman, 29, has subtly hit back at her haters after she accidentally purchased some very expensive Chypre sandals from Hermès
Elle didn’t mention the shoes or her eye-watering purchase in the video, instead telling followers she wanted to show them what cosmetic injections she receives.
However, as she exited her vehicle and made her way down a dirty street, Elle zoomed in on her feet to show she was wearing the Hermès shoes.
Elle went on to share footage of herself receiving $390 worth of Botox above her brows, upper lip, and nose.
The luxury footwear she purchased from the French fashion house features beige-coloured crocodile leather and a comfortable wool lining.
They also come with an eye-watering $13,155 price tag—something Elle discovered the hard way.
‘We got new shoes… new Hermès Chypres. They’re literally gorge,’ Elle gushed in a video to her 52,000 followers.
Elle said she was so excited to show off her new purchase on the street, she immediately put the shoes on after making the decision to buy them.

She thought they would cost thousands less than the price tag but got a rude shock at the cash register.
‘I definitely got very confused about the price. Which is my bad,’ she admitted.
‘I had heard, like, one number… so embarrassing. I went up to the checkout and I already had them on my feet because I was wearing them out of the store.
‘She [the cashier] had packed up my other shoes and I was like, “It’s fine.”‘
Elle has already shrugged off her fashion ‘faux pas’ admitting she was 100 per cent happy with the sandals.
‘So, we’re committing to the shoe, we’re committing to the croc. I should’ve known… Hermès. But, aren’t they gorge?’ she said.
Many of Elle’s followers jumped in to the comments to empathise over her shopping error.
‘The price. I’m dead,’ one offered, to which Elle replied: ‘I’m dead too.’
Another, offered: ‘I just looked them up and the price omg!!!!’
Elle jumped in on that comment too, replying simply with five skull emojis.
Others were quick to offer their jealousy over Elle being able to afford such high-end footwear.
‘May this life find me asap,’ one follower said.
